About this listen

A reclusive author, Beryl Madison finds no safe haven from months of menacing phone calls - or the tormented feeling that her every move is being watched. When the writer is found slain in her own home, Kay Scarpetta pieces together the intricate forensic evidence - while unwittingly edging closer to a killer waiting in the shadows.

Critic Reviews

"Takes the reader into the fascinating world of the forensic crime lab ... a complex, multi-layered novel with enough twists and turns for two books." ( The Washington Post Book World)
"Cornwell has the milieu and the facts down cold ... a complex story that wends a devious path through dark spaces where corpses are discovered at practically every turn." ( The Los Angeles Daily News)

Cornwell is a cracking crime writer and her stories are pretty addictive. Sometimes the dialogue is a bit cliched but the story and character development makes up for it. Her deep knowledge of forensics and pathology really set her apart. Lorelei King does a fantastic job with the narration too.

A great crime novel

I love this author, her stories are engauging the characters simple but complicated at the same time this series is one for those that draws you in and keeps you wanting more.
but it's not complicated you don't need to be rocket science to follow the story there easy to relax to when your brain is overwhelmed by the day you've had.

easy listening

I expected these to be kinda dated as I first read a few of them when I was a teenager but yeesh Marino is bigoted af and Scarpetta doesn’t tell him to pull his head in.
I lolled at the mention of a daisy wheel printer and disk-ettes.
Ahhh the 90’s

Good follow-up to the first novel with characters developing well. the actual story was (imo) not as dramatic as the first. A lot more profanity too which is a shame.

Solid follow-up
